Planning for Alaska DEPSCoR
Abstract
In its planning phase, Alaska EPSCoR aims to develop a statewide, integrated EPSCoR program to build research in science and technology for Alaska and to serve national needs in scientific research, education, and technology transfer. Our process includes careful consideration of the research strengths on the university campuses, the growth potential of various sectors of the state's economy, the needs of the people of Alaska for more education in science and engineering, and the integration of university research priorities. The specific aims of the DEPSCoR planning effort are: I. To hold workshops on DEPSCoR opportunities for Alaskan scientists and engineers. 2. To fund travel for Alaska scientists and engineers to visit DOD program officers. 3. To fund travel for Alaska scientists and engineers to develop collaborations in DOD priority areas for research. In the project period, Alaska EPSCoR has accomplished the following: 1. Provided administrative planning and leadership to support faculty, in the development and submission of DOD research proposals. 2. Provided coordination and logistical support for three workshops related to EPSCoR Research Focus Areas and DOD funding priorities. 3. Provided travel support to seven scientists to attend workshops, develop collaborative proposals, or meet with program officers. 4. Supported faculty in the submission of four FY 2001 DEPSCoR proposals, three of which were funded in February 2001. 5. Provided DEPSCoR website publicity for FY 2001 and FY 2002 solicitations, including guidance on proposal development and submission.
